Sonam Kapoor, Vidya Balan wear Indian designers at 'Gatsby' premiere

Sonam Kapoor and Vidya Balan wore traditional Indian dress at the The Great Gatsby premiere in Cannes.

The Raanjhnaa star wore a vintage white and gold sari by designer Anamika Khanna, with a baroque-effect jacket, while Balan was seen in a white and gold embroidered ensemble by her favored designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

Sabyasachi, who reportedly drew inspiration from William Dalrymple's book The White Mughals, told NDTV: "It's a purist ethnic look, almost like a Golconda princess. India has always been a country of excess, rather than minimalism.

"We are looking forward to bringing back what India truly stands for. Cannes will see a representation of Indian textiles and handicrafts. Full sleeved blouses, khadi saris, anarkalis, chiffons, benarasis, chanderi, and much more.

"Clutches with Kashmiri, Parsi and kutch craft. Beautiful old pieces of ajrak and lots of khadi, which has a string texture. India is only known as a bling country - this time it's about Indian fabrics and their diversity and little embellishment."
